CONGKAK

The word congkak is believed to originate from old Malay "congak", meaning "mental calculation". The oldest mancala game boards were found in a ruined fort of Roman Egypt and date back to the 4th century AD by our Persatuan National Geographic . After that, the game was likely introduced to Southeast Asia by Indian or Arab traders in the 15th century throughmerchants via Malacca , an important trading post at that time Congkak has simple rules that allow the boards to have different numbers of holes. Congkak boards are often made of teak or mahogany wood .Normally Congkak has two rows of seven circular holes and two large holes at both ends named “ Home “ . How to play? The game begins with seven game pieces (marbles or seeds) in each hole except "homes" which remain empty. Congkak requires two players . Each player controls the seven holes on his side and owns the "home" to his left. The goal is to accumulate as many pieces in your own "home". On a turn, a player removes all pieces from one of the seven holes on his side. He then distributes them clockwise --- one in each hole to the left of this hole --- . This process skips an opponent's "home" but not a player's own "home". The game ends when no pieces are left in any hole on both sides of the board. The players now count the number of pieces in their own "home" and see who has won. Director Ahmad Idham produced before 1 movie name filem Congkak at the year 2008 .
